Jackie,
The plane with tail number 44-42435 was with the 400th squadron of the 90th Bomb Group. The plane returned to the United States and was salvaged for scrap aluminum. As far as we know, the plane had no nose art.
We have one photo of the plane "Micki" that we will share with you if you like. Please email me at jr90thbg@aol.com and I will send you whatever I can find for Dennis Hassell.
Bonnie

        Hi Bonnie, I would LOVE the pic of MICKI, this is a complete new one for me. Haven't got 44-42435 on my list either. If there's enough showing might be able to place MICKI. Regards Pete
